Benefits of technology

The patent is for a tool that helps install hollow metal door frames. The tool is adjustable for use with frames of different sizes and has a unique design that makes it easy to align and level the door frame. It has square ends with magnets that attach to the frame, and a bifurcation that straddles the door stop to ensure the frame is properly aligned. The tool helps make the installation process quick and easy, and is a useful tool for any DIYer or professional installer.

Problems solved by technology

Often metal door frames have imperfections and a tendency to twist or buckle during shipping and installation causing problems in the door frame.
The traditional spreader is not adjustable, does not have the ability to secure itself to the frame at multiple heights, does not remove or prevent imperfections and twisting during installation, and lacks the ability to pull and push the door frame to the desired installation width.
